2017 Kawasaki Z900
Kawasaki revealed images of new models which
will be revealed at the EICMA show in Milan, the Z900.
The Z900 is powered by a new 948 cc inline-four
cylinder engine based on the Z1000 engine, making 126 bhp. Kawasaki has
developed an assist and slipper clutch to make action at the lever lighter and
assist with excessive engine braking.
The engine is housed in an all-new lightweight steel
trellis frame which helps keep weight down to 210 kg. The low weight is paired
with a low seat height of just 794 mm, making the new Zed a good proposition for
shorter riders.
The Z900 is suspended on 41 mm upside down forks
adjustable for rebound and preload at the front,and a horizontally-mounted
shock with rebound and preload adjustability at the rear. The 300 mm front discs
are gripped by dual opposed four-piston calipers, with the ABS system supplied
by Nissin.
The Z900 will be available in Pearl Mystic Gray /
Metallic Flat Spark Black, Candy Lime Green / Metallic Spark Black, Metallic
Flat Spark Black / Metallic Spark Black and Candy Plasma Blue / Metallic
Graphite Gray (Special Edition)
